Exam part 3

This project was a bust, if I could do this again, I would! I liked the idea of this project, but things I would do differently would be I would make the letters bigger! I would paint in different colors, maybe blue and green! I would also take my time and blend the colors better! I would use a bigger canvas, because the word is too big for the canvas, and you can't see the fade as much! This project turned out okay, but it could turn out even better! 

Exam part 3

Original art

This piece of art is original, because there is no other art like it! I did get inspiration from other artist. Do to the fact that this project was artist inspired. I looked at Patrick star, and the thinker pose! I wanted to combine them because patrick doesn't think so it's ironic! My ideas were using Patrick's rock as the stone that the thinker sits on! To adding colors in his pants! Over all I love this work of art and I'm very proud of it! 

Final exam

We collaborate 

We started this project as something fun to do! We were not really inspired by anything! It started off with just splatter paint!! Then I decided to add an alien! Claire and Hannah gave us ideas on what to add! They told us to add more aliens. You came in and helped add the shading and very minor details that make the project look a lot better! Over all I love how this project turned out! 

Blog post

I just finished a stop motion animation project. I used pages in my book and had stick figures jumping out of a plane. They had a battle and at the end they both die. 

I'm currently working on a project.. Artist steal, I'm putting Patrick star in the thinker pose. Ironic right? The medium I'm going to be using is clay. Im not geed with clay so it will be a challenge.

Art 3 snapshot #2

The faded project is complete!!!! I think that it turned out okay, not what I thought it was going to turn out like. Sometimes that's the way the best art comes out. Last time you saw it, it was just coming together! I blended the paint and I think the fade really came together if I had done a better job with the letters. I think my favorite part is the un even gradient . 

New project-

I have decided to do print making on an elephant and I am working on Pinterest and my sketches!

The elephant will be printed on the ez cut. And then will be cut out! 

Text Art

I found some ideas of text art on Pinterest! Using Pinterest helped gather some ideas for my challenge ideas and my final project.

Challenge #1

-using symbols to spell a word.

Challenge #2

-using a word to make an object.

 

For my final project I had the idea of using paint as a medium. Then after I knew what medium I was going to use. I looked on my Pinterest board to gather ideas. I came up with having the word fade. Painting the word faded. 

This is my practice project to see how it would look. I like how it looks, but the fade in the letters are going to be better on the final, to get the full effect. 

Mixed media

This project was very hard because it was a concept that I had to learn as I went. I wasn't here when we went over it but I started to get the concept of adding different things to make my object have the texture appeal and the contrast that I wanted. I think that this project has changed since the original, it started of as just a dragon and then I added the news paper to make it kind of like a Chinese dragon. Also the newspaper contrasted with the dragon to make it pop. I think that this medium/ technique was very hard considering that I have never done this before. I think the strengths of this is that the dragon pops, the weakness is that the dragon looks kinda childish. Overall I think this was a fun project but very hard to make it look not as childish, I would love to do more of this technique.
